Spy360:
Look at the bolded word and tell me it is not filled with emotions.

I said Bruno has the potential and it depends on who coach's him and he himself.

Under Arteta that Bruno will be better than Partey. The reason is that he has pace which Partey lacks. Even that his temperament which you see as a disadvantage is the reason Arteta kept Xhaka. We have lacked it this season and we need it.

You talk of not being press resistant, obviously you don't know Bruno Guimares.

Physicality of Rice
Energy of Odegaard
Attitude of Xhaka
Passing of Partey
All in one.

Who is talking about emotion here? Bruno and Partey are distinct breeds in DM. The only player you can compare him to is Rice as they're quite similar.

No be the same Bruno wey dey Newcastle.

Jodera:
Your body dey do you say we go drop point?

Cos me I no understand this your question o

We should just score the first goal....early kick offs are always set-up.

Unfortunately Nelson no dey bench.

Why today's match dey somehow sef...

Spy360:
Bruno can play DM and ask an 8 and he is quite comfortable on both roles.

He has all it takes to be an upgrade on Partey depending on the manager and himself.

Bruno has all the qualities of Partey and even those Partey lacks.

For example he has the passing ability and stamina of Partey and he also has the pace which Partey lacks.

He can never be like Partey oga.

Two biggest qualities of Partey that are most essential for this team are his press resistance and ability to pick out a pass between the lines. Bruno is too temperamental while Partey has this calming influence.

Longneck:
So you know ACL is a near career ending injury but you belittled it when Samson Tijani was the one involved

He will soon come back and tell you Tijani has a stronger body compared to Tega.

lbrichman2:
Lol
Why are you baiting our good Komekn?

He very well understand what I'm trying to say but man would rather feign ignorance since a naija born player is involved.

I gave Pep and Arteta as examples of coaches who once played with false 9 but are now moving for traditional 9. Which means Liverpool might be doing same going by their transfer rumour involving Osimhen.

komekn:
Nunez is struggling and he is not playing as a number 9 but as an inverted winger. Liverpool paid €100 million for him. But did not change their style and strategy to accommodate Nunez.

Many a hot striker has come to the EPL and failed.

Harvertz is technically astute and Arsenal is not Liverpool, in addition he doesn't play like a quintessential number 9. That's not a good comparison.

You are being optimistically assumptive, Liverpool will change their football style to pyramid structure to accommodate one player . Do you really believe that.

You think Jota, Diaz, Salah (?) no guarantee Salah is leaving, will all play for one player called VO, because he is Messi.

I don't see that .

Well..if you say so.
Just read Liverpool are also considering Tega Abraham. Not sure if it is true though. Do you think he is the ideal forward for Liverpool?

...and Raya officially won the golden globe as Pickford won't be going home with a clean sheet tonight.

Timber will be available for selection tomorrow

Arsenal U21 just whoop Man Utd U21. FT score is 6-2. With goals from Duberry (2), Butler(2), Henry and Nwaneri. They will play the QF against Chelsea (currently winning).

Amedino99:
Leicester funny Sha. Coach no play am for half the season due to afcon and Dem wan make him sign new deal so that Dem go gain on top am. Yeye club.

Dem wan run Kelechi street. A whole seniorman

lbrichman2:
Yeah i still remember him as a 17year old The guy sef don try He's done well for himself He needs a trophy Now let's go to the world cup and win the next AFCON

He won FA cup with Arsenal, I think twice. And yea, an AFCON trophy is not bad.

comodo:
A cursory look at the EPL table just showed that Nottingham forest will be dragged into relegation zone if Luton wins today. That is scary for Aina and Awo

They should blame wood. I really don't know what happened to Awoniyi. He was not this injury proned now.

Hopefully both Luton and Forest stays up

humility33:


Finidi has bald head too
Oh could it be because his own is not natural

Amunike's probably shines more. Also, Finidi didn't do internship at Pep's tikitaka school.

komekn:
Not sure about this.

First of all Liverpool have never played with a quintessential number 9. They don't have a pyramid structure and have not for a long time. The number 9 is almost an appendage a kind of AM.

Firmino was the perfect example, the majority of goals came from the inverted winger's or rather forward players coming from the wings. For example past and present, Mane, Salah, Diaz, Jota , Nunez, etc

Nunez has been struggling he is more of a number 9 but has found himself as an inverted forward coming from the wings.

VO has many attributes but being technically astute and playing on the wings is not one of them, IMO.

In addition there are two new Directors not Klopp guys Edward one of them comes from the mindset of not playing with a quintessential number 9. The other Director Hughes will follow the lead of Edwards.

In addition the new Dutch coach as is rumoured, Slot is not going to do dramatic changes in my opinion. I personally don't think he is a good fit for Liverpool and this could be there own Achilles heal.

Consider all the quintessential number 9 bought by Liverpool apart from Torres none have been able to have an impact. Players like Benteke, Carroll,
Balotelli, Nunez, etc

Having all this in mind l don't think going to Liverpool is a great fit for VO.

Let's ignore the motive behind your post.

Pep is one of the coaches who was so obessed with this false 9 tactic. He was so invested in it that he benched Aguero (a prolific scorer) for Gabriel Jesus. Months back, he went ahead and signed Haaland. Arsenal and Arteta were towing this path until realisation dawned that there is still a place for the traditional 9 in modern day football. Fortunately, Havertz saved our blushes. Signing Nunez should tell you Liverpool might be moving away from the false 9 era. Osimhen is one of the hottest striker currently and he will be a perfect fit for them.

Happy birthday Iwobinho

28 already? How time flies. I still remember the 'short stockings' Iwobi at Arsenal.

TheGoodJoe:
Arne Slot ● Beautiful Tiki Taka & Patterns of Play ● Welcome To Liverpool


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSQ9dEm9ZmI

Just wondering.... Do you follow EBL on Twitter? You will definitely be interested in his contents. He plans to release two threads about Arne Slot this afternoon.

AndSunGorilla:
The dutch guy currently coaching Feyenord, Arne Slot i believe.

And he is a 'baldie' like Pep so Thegoodjoe will definitely like him

Jodera:
Why don't you want him?

He is the sole reason I dislike Newcastle. He is too dirty... imagine swinging elbow here and there against your fellow professional footballer. Moreso, he is just like Rice... What we need is someone who can replace Partey.

Jodera:
The Onana, na only here I dey see am oo.

I don't understand how we need technical players and na Onana be option.

We need strong players that are good technically and can beat press, I never for once thought Onana would always be an option here

Thank you o. Dude is not technical at all.

daveP:
Imagine an incoming of

Watkins

One of the Victors

Zubimendi

Bakayoko/Olise

Onana/??

Wirtz

Is 250m too much to get all? I use 250 cos that's the figure that would escape any FFP with the assurance that we already have 4 outgoing.

Thank God you're not the manager. You dey lambast Arteta for signing Kai and here you're suggesting Onana...or is it not Amadou Onana of Everton that doesn't have a specific position? He will give us the energy and physicality in the middle but technique? No. Do you think any of these players will agree to sit on the bench?

Bournemouth na banana peel o. infact we need to be wary of them.

Jodera:
What do you guys think about Bruno Gumairaes?
Can he play DM and do you think he can be a potential replacement for Partey?
(I know he can't be an upgrade sha)

Personally, I don't want him. But who am I to say no if Arteta wants him?

BascoVanVeli:
Esther Onyenezide's debut


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1vr_uVYtPE

Not bad... She should work harder. The talent is there.

Jodera:
This Antonio too like Declan Rice sha. I'm sure he would want West Ham to drop point against Man City just so that arsenal will win it for Declan. Won't be surprised if him carry the matter for head that day they'll play Man City. I go try watch that match sha.

Also have you watched the clip where he said Rice is better than Rodri?

He said everything Rodri does, Rice can do it but not everything Rice do can Rodri do. From Ball carrying to dribbling to defensive works (tackles and interceptions)

Lol, the guy Sabi hype Rice well

I have been noticing it too. Make everything sha work in our favour.

Cletus (on dread)

Really rooting for him

West Ham Michail Antonio thinks #Arsenal will win the Premier League if it goes down to the last day of the season: “I wouldn’t call them bottlejobs if they lose this title, I wouldn’t. If it goes down to the last day, I reckon Arsenal wins it. Last game of the season, we have something to play for as well, we’re trying to get into Europe, Man City away."

Arsenal 250

humility33:
Super Eagles dodge a bullet with that man. He would've drag the NFF and become so powerful.sacking him would've been a problem

He should go up himself and let his achievements speak for him. See Imama the coach that didn't do well with the CHAN Eagles even though he won league with rangers doing so well now in Rwanda.

He is building himself and learning the ropes. Amunike is here doing nothing just hoping to get the super eagles with the only achievement of winning under 17 world cup many years ago

Gbam!!!

You can't be idle and be expecting NFF to give you a job.

Tessyy1701:
With His MBBS, I think he will be a good replacement for Erik at manchester united

That job too small sef.... he should organize coaching class for the like of Pochettino, Tegwolo, Tuchel and Xavi.

Oasis007:


....I don't even understand essence of UEFA Pro nonsense. He is here to coach an Africa National Team for God's sake! What he needs the most is CAF badges A or B.

A coach can have UEFA Msc license and still underperform. And there is another coach without a coaching license that will give you result. All these yapping about Finidi not qualifying is just funny.

Their fave almost sent one African club to relegation. The management had to send him home.

TheGoodJoe:

I have said repeatedly that at this moment we should support Finidi because he is the coach but stop the lies people are spreading. So which one is tantrum.

People are Happy the less qualified person was picked. It is okay. We can move on from there but don't sell lies.

Rest oga. Finidi is less qualified..we Don hear you.
Rest

TheGoodJoe:
Finidi is not that good and he got the job. That lies the answer and why people found it puzzling. Amunike needs to get qualifications, till UEFA Pro Coaching License in 2013. Then got a UEFA Masters Coaching License. Worked at Assistant in U17 and did well. Coached the U17, despite sabotage, did well. Coached the U20. Assisted in Super Eagles, coached in the local league. Coached Tanzania, qualified them. Has some stints in other African countries.

But no, he must do more but you are all happy that Finidi got the job by just coaching the Npfl and assist in Super Eagles.

Please.

All you sad here are mere story. If Nigeria is too small for Amunike, I believe there should be a club somewhere in Africa he can manage with all his UEFA Pro, MSc, MBBs,MBA and PhD.

Man has been out of job for how many years now? Man is just lazy. Nothing else. No matter how brilliant you are, you need experience and qualifications to speak for you.
